Measures to instill academic integrity (as submitted by school)
Exams are timed and students sign a statement to the honor code. Exams are either open or closed book. Students come in once a semester for a two to three day immersion to assess their competencies. Exams are secured and cannot be printed. Course work is up in moodle. Moodle is a secure web-site with a log in required.
